It had been a pleasant journey, though not without incident. The SDP can boast that it has made Shirley Williams run on time. The trains may prove more difficult.

Only when a symbolic televisual platform stop was made at Warrington did the railway staff seem commendably anxious to get started again. But then the NUR is still under Labour control. On arrival in Perth, the English invasion was greeted by Scots Liberal MP, Russell Johnston, and a piper. It was not clear who. had paid the piper (this could be important).

The delegates scattered to their hotels, to Mrs Duff's and a commendable flurry of fringe meetings some Brandt over break-' fast starting at 8.30 a.m. But they were fully recovered in time for the historic opening at 11 a.m. the conference not the bar. There were polite hints that the party founded on democracy and decentralisation was already suffering from-a spot of arbitrary centralisation. But it was done without passion, or anger.

They have not had enough time yet to hate each other properly. In the afternoon came the Big Split" plus a couple of little splits. It was all very tolerant, but then they were sparring, not voting at this stage. The issue was how the Parliamentary leader should be elected, or to get down to basics will it be Roy or Shirley? At this point, one felt a curious sense of deja vu. Representing the Healeyite view (leave it to MPs) with minor embellishments of a counter-productive nature was Professor Marquand, the former MP, and Alan Bennett look-alike, who did his famous imitation of Mr Bennett explaining the SDP constitution to ah audience of flve-year-olcfs.

Then came Mike Thomas, representing the Bennite Tendency one man one vote for the whole membership. But not surprisingly Mr Thomas got a rather enthusiastic response positively vulgar not to say ominous, Mr 'Jenkins must have thought. Rank and file speakers subsequently split as they did on the question of positive discrimination. Meanwhile the protesters from the Scottish Nutters were reportedly up on the roof "nearer The Day of Judgment" said Mrs Shirley Williams calmly. It was Mrs Williams who provided the day's nugget of hard news: An explanation of her legendary lateness.

Like other women-folk, she told a women's rights meeting, she was always planning the supper and querying the gas bill as well as running the country. Over to you, Margaret Thatcher.

The SDP insists a shade prematurely that it is not like other parties, but we traditionalists miss these things.

Mr Jenkins sounded weary, even though he had flown up to Perth while the rest of us had come up on the Moder THE historic first conference of the SDP opened yesterday morning in scenes of intense respectability reminiscent of a good old Scottish Sabbath in the days before Labour undermined the licensing laws. Before lunch the nearest the conference got to a spontaneous outburst was the cries of mike, mike which interrupted the opening speakers. Could this be the start of a Bennite personality cult, one wondered hopefully By Ian Aitken, Political Editor Mr Michael Foot yesterday issued a stark warning to President Reagan that if the present moves towards nuclear disengagement in Europe fail because of American determination to press ahead with the arms race then they will lose the support of Western Europe. Reinvigorated by what he clearly regards as a highly successful Labour Party conference, Mr Foot made no bones about his personal commitment to unilateral nuclear disarmament. But he repeated his insistence that the Labour Movement should concentrate its attention on what could be done now to halt the arms race, even before becoming the government.

Interviewed by Mr Brian Walden on ITVs Weekend World, Mr Foot pinned his faith on recent accords in the Socialist International, which now includes several European governing parties. He rejected withdrawal from NATO, but warned that the. world would face a more serious situation than ever before if the present theatre nuclear Thatcher rebels WORLD CHESS CHAMPIONSHIP Siib Ulster reforms due 'this week' Karpov's crushing form Sir Ian intends to outline a comprehensive alternative policy to a fringe meeting of Continued from Dane 1 weapons race was not halted in trie rory conference next weeK, and a pamphlet to be issued by a group of younger; MPs this week is intended to tackle more cordial than it might otnerwise nave been. the next six to eight months.

The challenger, under pressure from position and clock, blundered a pawn in the middle game and Karpov kept command to score his second point in 57 moves. The first man to take six games wins the title.

Korchnoi has had difficulty defending Karpov's 1 P-K4, so he tried the rare Berlin Defence (3 N-B3) to the champion's favourite Ruy Michael Foot halt arms race colleagues. He also had some bad news for Mr Tony Benh. Mr Foot confirmed that he still wanted Mr Benn to seek election to Labour's Shadow Cabinet, but he made it plain that he would have no truck with any effort on Mr Benn's part to defy the principle of collective responsibility. He expected to have private talks with Mr Benn in the near future, but refused repeatedly to say whether he might withdraw his pledge to vote for Mr Benn if those talks proved unsatisfactory. The entire interview, however, conveyed a new sense of urgency about the need to get the Labour Party back on the road as an effective parliamentary opposition and as a working electoral machine.

Mr Foot looked as though he thought, at last, that the task was no longer impossible. Whether he proves right will depend to some extent on Mr Benn's personal behaviour. But there was increasing evidence yesterday that a significant number of Mr Benn's supporters are prepared to do their utmost to assist in achieving reconciliation, and that many of them will be advising Mr Benn to cool it." A public hint of this mood came from 12 MPs who voted for Mr Benn in the deputy leadership ballot. They issued a public statement calling on the hard left to exercise toleration towards those of their softer comrades who abstained. These include Mr Neil Kinnock and Miss Joan Lester, both of whom have suffered a drop in their vote on the National Executive Committee as well as a certain amount of public and private abuse.

"The British Government should to my mind be mag over nuclear weapons. Mr Walden more than once remarked that what Mr Foot was saying, as he gave his personal views on scrapping Polaris, the rejection of Trident and Persh ing missiles, and reiterated his KORCHNOI'S BLUNDER Korchnoi (Black) has just advanced his pawn (arrowed) to keep out Karpov's knight but he has overlooked that his own knight is now underprotected.

Meanwhile, Loyalists were reacting with suspicion.

The Rev Ian Paisley claimed that a deal had been struck and there is a lingering suspicion that private assurances may have been conveyed to the prisoners, although this was being strongly denied by Sinn Fein.

Some angry backbenchers are now talking in terms of organised abstentions in the Commons on key issues of economic policy. The move coincides with the prospect of a series of major speeches from senior Conservative dissidents, including not only Mr Edward Heath but also Mr Geoffrey Rippon, a former Cabinet minister under Mr Heath, and Sir Ian Gil-mour, the Foreign Office minister who was sacked by Mrs Thatcher last month. The two events are not, so far, directly connected, since the threat of Commons abstentions comes from a group of young backbenchers whose hostility to the fundamentalist economic policies of the Government has been well known for some time. Nor is there evidence so far of collusion between Mr Heath and any of the senior group of dissidents. Indeed, there are sipns that some potential rebels are mildly embarrassed by the prospect of being linked with Mr Heath.

They recognise his potential as a headline-maker but are less enthusiastic about his usefulness in making allies within Tory party ranks. The hope now is that people like Sir Ian and Mr Rippon will add new weight to the dissident campaign to reverse the present economic course set by Mrs Thatcher and reinforced by her recent Cabinet reshuffle. A crucial feature of the campaign will be to rebut the Prime Minister's constant claim that there is no alternative to existing policy. lism. But he conceded that eleven years ago, which there were some differences of view between himself and Mr favoured White.

One problem, however, is tho continued fragmentation of the internal opposition. Many of the Government's strongest critics approach the issue from the right rather than the left, arguing that the Government has delivered too few rather than too many cuts in public spending. But it remains a fact that The Prime Minister is beginning to look seriously isolated in her own parliamentary party.

But some elements among the young wets have been canvassing the idea of putting a candidate against Mrs Thatcher when she comes up for reelection as party leader next month. The proposal was being clandestinely discussed before Parliament went into recess in July. It has surfaced again in recent weeks. This plan, however, suffers from two fatal defects, in the view of the more level-headed dissidents. First, thev believe it would be virtually impossible to find anyone of reasonable stature was also foolhardy enough to stand.

Mr Muldoon was present. The document refers to "the gross inequality of wealth, and opportunity" between the rich and poor countries, and says that the heads of government "resolve to end the present impasse, to advance the dialogue between developed and developing countries, to infuse an increased sense of urgency and direction into the resolution of these common problems Mr Muldoon's attack on Mr Ramphal was followed by criticism of the wording of the Melbourne Declaration only an hour after it had been issued.

Mr Muldoon seemed surprised when correspondents told him that the declaration had been made public, saying "It certainly has not got my seal of approval on it. It takes two pages to get to a totally inadequate last paragraph." Later he said I just do not think it is more than a pious declaration composed principally of platitudes."
